There was a slight commotion again in Danqi, but this time the source came from the noble military officials.
Ningyang Bo Chen Mao's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing waves of waves.
Ren Li knelt down and looked up at Chen Mao, but the other party didn't give him any reaction.
So, he turned sideways and his eyes fell on Zhang Xi and Jiao Jing, but he happened to see each other looking towards him.
The three people's eyes met in the air, and Ren Li's body stiffened for a while, as if he had become much older all of a sudden.
He lowered his head, held his hands in a bow, and gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, I have never discussed with anyone privately the Ministry of War's report on reorganizing military camps. Naturally, it is even less possible for me to conspire with the nobles and incite the border troops to obstruct the court discussion, as Yang Nengshu said."
"My objection today is really out of public intention. As for the accusations made by Marquis Changping and his nephew Yang Neng, they are actually false accusations. Your Majesty's sage can shine brightly, and you must not listen to slander."
After the words fell, many ministers present suddenly realized something in their hearts.
So, is this where the joint is?
From Yang Xin's family letters to Yang Neng's confession, Yang Hong was forcing Ren Li to admit one thing.
That is, the Ningyuan Marquis had long been aware of the proposal to rectify the military camp, and had made preparations early on, and secretly prepared to stop the court meeting.
Everyone thought that these two letters were ironclad evidence that Yang Hong was trying to bring down Ning Yuanhou, but in fact, what Yang Hong wanted to achieve might just be...
"So, Marquis Ren objected to the reorganization of the army and did not get angry with anyone in advance. Apart from speaking out in today's court meeting, he also did not use any other means, right?"
In full view of everyone, Yang Hong pressed forward step by step without giving in at all.
Ren Li's face had already turned black, but now, he had no other choice.
Yang Neng's confession has already forced him into a corner.
Although this is indeed the case, he must not admit it!
Your Majesty, please oppose the reorganization of the military cantons. This is because of the turbulent discussion in the court and the will of the people.
However, if it is confirmed that there is someone behind the scenes, they are trying to intimidate the imperial court and take advantage of their own merits.
Moreover, coincidentally, the last person who did this, a deputy censor named Luo, had just been sentenced to beheading.
What's more...
Ren Li glanced at the already restless ministers and sighed again.
With things like this, even if he wanted to continue, other people would not be willing to bear such responsibility with him.
The reason why these noble families followed him in opposing the rectification of the army was to protect their own interests, not to lose their titles as well.
"Your Majesty is aware that I don't know why Yang Neng wants to trap me with lies, but what I said is the truth. Since it is a court matter, we should openly express our opinions in court discussions, and there will be no private collusion!"
After Ren Li finished speaking, whether it was an illusion or not, the military ministers on the side all seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, a group of honorable ministers stood up one after another and said.
"Your Majesty, what Marquis Ren said is true. As ministers of the imperial court, if I have different opinions, I will report it to the emperor and will never collude privately."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please do not listen to slander. Everyone has their own opinions on court affairs. According to my opinion, the Marquis of Changping and the Marquis of Ningyuan must have personal grudges. That's why there is a dispute in the court today."
"Your Majesty, the truth has become clear by now. Marquis Changping has no evidence and falsely accuses an important official of the imperial court. He should be punished and your Majesty should be punished!"
With Ren Li's statement, other honorable ministers, no matter what they thought in their hearts, would immediately stand up and clear their relationship.
However, amid all the talk, the direction of the wind has changed again.
Originally, each family was trying to distance itself from itself, but from who knows who, it started to get involved again in the dispute between Yang Hong and Ren Li.
So, Yang Hong, who had not moved at the same place, his face darkened and he said.
"What do you mean, do you mean that I am using the reputation and future of my two descendants to falsely accuse Marquis Ren?"
"Private grudge? What kind of personal grudge is this big enough for me to bet on it?"
Yang Hong is a veteran on the battlefield for many years. At this moment, his beard and hair are splayed, his eyes are wide-eyed, and he is full of momentum. He does not look like he has been lingering on the bed for a long time.
Such power immediately silenced a group of military officials.
At the same time, there was a low discussion on the civil servants' side.
Compared with the military ministers who wallow in the battlefield and the honorable ministers who rely on the glory of their ancestors, the ministers who can be ranked in the court have always experienced some ups and downs in the world.
Therefore, for them, it is a habit to think more about everything.
It should be said that the two pieces of evidence Yang Hong has produced so far are indeed not sufficient.
Yang Xin's letter was a letter from his family, so it was not difficult to forge it. Yang Neng's letter was genuine. However, it could only prove that Ren Li had invited Yang Neng to come to the house. However, what was discussed specifically was based on Yang Neng's That self-introduction letter cannot be used as ironclad evidence.
Therefore, in the face of this confession, Ren Li could say without any worries that it was a frame-up and a deliberate attempt to murder.
Although ministers of civil and military affairs have different opinions, they also have different opinions on right and wrong.
In this case, if the noble military ministers headed by Ren Li want to question Yang Hongxing, these civil servants may not necessarily stop him.
However, Yang Hong's words reminded them!
Yes, for no reason, is Yang Hong crazy? He used the reputation and future of his two most valued juniors to frame the appointment ceremony?
You know, even if the Changping Marquis Mansion falls, Yang Neng and Yang Xin can at least be saved.
Especially Yang Neng, who had just been sent to Guangxi to guard.
There are no rules in the imperial court that change orders overnight. Unless the Yang family has committed a terrible disaster, otherwise, seizing the title and being imprisoned will be a big deal.
Why does Yang Hong need to use his two most valued descendants to frame these two pieces of evidence that can be easily denied with just red lips and white teeth?
Is this veteran of many battles at the end of his rope, or is he too anxious?
I'm afraid, none of them!
Yang Hong was not a fool. He made such a big fuss and even, as he said, put the reputation and future of his two younger generations on the line in order to bring down Ren Li and save the Yang family.
If he cannot do this, then everything he has done before will be as ridiculous as a clown.
The significance of these two letters is to seal Ren Li's retreat and break the connection between him and other noble families.
In other words, at least in this court meeting, after these two letters are taken out, other noble families who want to support Ren Li will become helpless. If they are not careful, they will solidify the connection. crime.
That means that what Yang Hong really has to face now is no longer the Wu Chen Group headed by Ren Li, but the independent Ningyuan Houfu!
This opportunity is not easy to find. Once this court meeting passes, this influence will disappear.
Therefore, if you really want to defeat Ren Li, you must win in one battle!
Perhaps, this is the reason why Yang Hong has displayed a fearless and unyielding attitude from the very beginning.
He has already run out of retreat!
So, what is the killer move hidden behind these two letters?
Amidst the low discussion, Chen Yi glanced at Yu Qian. Their eyes met, and they seemed to think of something at the same time.
So, Chen Yi stepped out of the queue again and said.
"Your Majesty, the current situation regarding the impeachment of Marquis Ningyuan by Marquis Changping is complicated. It may be difficult to see the truth through a confrontation between two people. I am brave enough to ask Your Majesty to publish the impeachment memorial submitted by Marquis Changping to help all civil and military officials to discern the true situation!"
